Fantastic lesson today, Jen! It’s a keeper in my pants fitting list on YT. I love your dad and his interest in your sewing even though I don’t know him personally. My dad was like that with my sewing and jewelry making before he passed. What a blessing! I ordered yesterday’s cool tool and am excited about trying it out, especially with the curved guides. Thanks for your videos. My dad, ever the engineer, would have been fascinated by this one. 😊

Thanks Lynn... Dads are so precious!! I feel blessed to be able to spend so much time with him. (also thank you for the heads up about my upload boo boo yesterday!)

Thanks, Jen! You are always very interesting to watch, with your great tips. When you first said it could be the hinge made at the inseam, i was all whaaattt???? But your demonstration showed how logical it is, and now I know the answer to one of my most frequent, frustrating problems! Best wishes to you!

Thank you for the kind words... and for following along with me!

Thank you, this has been doing my head in for as long as I can remember as I generally have to make a significant change to back crotch extension - keep thinking the inseam is too short so lengthen it and it does nothing, leading to me smashing my head against a wall.

:) An inseam that's too short has tell-tale wrinkles along the inseam pointing down. Hope that helps! thanks for fitting along with me

I did a big bum adjustment by slicing and separated the back crotch/upper thigh. The seam looked like a was spinning yarn. Know I know why.

Here's a tutorial showing how to shorten the rise at the inseam/crotch. You can take in both the front and back vs, just taking in the front. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpuXeph5ecx-nck Hope it helps! Thanks for watching
